Laravel 4 how to apply title and meta information to each page with blade master page

Trying to apply an individual title and meta description to my websites pages, but I'm not sure if the way I'm attempting is very clean.

master.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>{{ $title }}</title>
    <meta name="description" content="{{ $description }}">
</head>

individual page

@extends('layouts.master')
<?php $title = "This is an individual page title"; ?>
<?php $description = "This is a description"; ?>

@section('content')

I feel like this is a quick and dirty way to get the job done, is there a cleaner way?

If you want to use a variable in your title so it's dynamically generated from your DB, I do it like this:

master.blade.php

<title>@yield('title')</title>

article.blade.php

@section( 'title', '' . e($article->title) )

It uses https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/helpers#method-e

Really recommend this:

https://github.com/artesaos/seotools

You pass the information to the the view require the content

SEOTools::setTitle($page->seotitle);
SEOTools::setDescription($page->seodescription);

This works as well:

master.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>@yield('title')</title>
    <meta name="description" content="@yield('description')">
</head>

individual page

@extends('layouts.master')

@section('title')
    This is an individual page title
@stop

@section('description')
    This is a description
@stop

@section('content')

or if you want to shorten that some more, alternately do this:

individual page

@extends('layouts.master')

@section('title', 'This is an individual page title')
@section('description', 'This is a description')

@section('content')

no one think that the best way is to create your own class with facade (Site::title(), Site::description etc) and mutators (via Str::macro) that automatically check if title, description etc is in right format (max length, adding categories, defaults, separators, etc) and clone data to others fields (title => og:title, description => og:description) if necessary?

This should work:

@extends('layouts.master')
<?php View::share('title', 'title'); ?>

...

You can also do this:

@extends('views.coming-soon.layout', ['title' => 'This is an individual page title'])
